Put a socket on the bolt, wedge the wrench against the frame and have someone bump the engine over and it will break it loose. Normal thread. Remove fuel pump fuse to make sure it does not accidentally start.

Agreed. That's a great way to damage yourself and/or the car. And you'd remove the plugs in addition to the fuel pump fuse as there is residual fuel pressure for quick starting (some cars have accumulators) that would allow the car to run briefly before the fuel pressure fell, allowing the attached wrench to become a dangerous and destructive item.
Edward, if the impact wrench doesn't work for you see if you can get the chain wrench around the pulley itself. Chain wrenches come in different sizes, so you may want to pick up a larger one if yours is too small. Handy tool to have!

do not use the starter on a honda the engine turns to the left not the right you will going the wrong way honda crank bolts are very tight they make a tool to hold the pulley (the hex inside the pulley ) so you can break it lose but the starter trick dose work on most car

The impact wrench worked with full air pressure. I was going to reinstall with unordadox pulleys but I ended up at the dealership and put in the stock crank pulley. (my wife just wanted her car back)
Thanks for the tips!
